Police have arrested a man who they said is suspected of following a mother and two daughters around at Target in South Windsor, then following their vehicle. They said he has been charged with stalking any other charges.
The incident happened on July 14 and a 55-year-old Willington man was arrested on Thursday.
Police said the man followed a woman and her two adult daughters throughout Target on Buckland Hills Drive without buying anything and it reached the point where the women were scared enough to ask a Target employee to escort them out to their vehicle.
While they were in the parking lot, the man drove around and by the women’s vehicle several times before following them out of the parking lot and onto Buckland Hills Drive, police said.
